The game crashes at the battle of Kaer Morhen.. (laptop i7, 8G, gtx 860M) 1.10
In the quest 'battle of Kaer Morhen', the game ALWAYS crashes when it started cut scene after I helped Triss. Right after Triss watched Siri on the tower, it crashes. I'd set the lowest graphic option, re-installed, set another language, and restarted the quest, but it crashes just at the same point. Can anyone help me?

I just had EXACT SAME issue, the crush timing is exactly the same. Nothing helps. ♥♥♥♥ 1.10


BTW I have 5930k, 32GB DDR4, 980 ti. More than enough to run even this game...

I just have solved this problem.
uninstall witcher3, and delete all contents in 'documents/the witcher3' except savedata.
delete 'steamlibrary/the witcher 3' folder.
then install witcher3 again.
I ran witcher3.exe in administration mode.(you can try this first)
and I could pass the cutscene.
but I'm not sure it would works to all the same bugs.

I Have a same problem (only with me it happens when I play as Ciri and help Escel and open the gate). I open the gate, get the notification that I the quest is updated and BOOM a crash to desktop, no warning nothing, just as the cutscene starts.

So I'm trying your solutions hoping that will work, but when I go to desktop icon (of Witcher 3) I can't select to run as admin in properties. Cant find the .exe in the Steamapps folder eiter.
So how the **** do I run the Witcher 3 as admin



UPDATE: After reïnstaling I could get past the crash

I had that issue too.

I hope it doesn't happen again but the solutions are well worth keeping in mind...thanks for them.

Thankfully for me it happened a couple of times in one play and then didn't happen again: I reloaded and it worked...lucky I guess.
